Honestly, I thought the Luxman was very smooth and a bit warm but it seemed lacking in terms of detail, dynamics, and frequency extension. It sounded it little rolled off to me. You eventually get used to it.I'm not sure if that's the Luxman 'house sound' as this was my first ever Luxman product. It may appeal to some but I tend to prefer greater dynamics, transparency, detail, speed, crispness, and frequency extension from my front-end source components. I would then rely on the preamp and/or amp to tailor the sound. In other words start very clean, dynamic, transparent, and detailed. Then let the tubes downstream preform their magic. ;-)
I got used to the Luxman sound and it's enjoyable but when I switched the NuWave DAC back into the system I immediately notice the difference and what was missing.
I found the Luxman DA-06 and Wavelength Brick DAC to be polite, smooth, warm, and to my ears less detailed and rolled off compared to the PS Audio NuWave or the Wyred4Sound DAC2. The W4S DAC2 and PS Audio NuWave sound similar to me, with the PS Audio being slightly more resolving, the DAC2 being ever so slightly more robust in the lower mids.
The Luxman and Wavelength are not for me but might be appealing to others.
